No reason to apologize.Doesn't matter where it came from.I don't think so. Impressions are based on the length of time a person spends on the page. Some companies have varying time measurements for such things.Impression are paid based on advertising and what the advertiser pays.Not that I know of.You're welcome.

WE, the ads that are based on impressions is the HUGE Banner ad that is displayed on the outside of hubs. You cannot see it when you are logged into your account. You can only view it when you are not logged in. This banner is pure impression and click based. You'll receive money based on impression, but receive higher value when clicked on.

And, how would you know your impressions? Are you using Google to determine the impressions? If so, then you're failing to understand that Hubpages scores impressions differently.

As I explained earlier in this thread to Website Examiner, there are only a couple of ads spaces that are impression based. And, not all of Google Advertisers are impression based, only some are.(actually very few are)

You seem to want things to move along quickly and that is certainly not how things happen, especially when you only have two hubs written. To think that you're going to do extremely well is a bit out of sync with how things actually work.

Write more hubs. Generate more traffic. You will see a change. Try to relax, be patient and enjoy writing.

HPads and adsense will never see the same number of impressions. HPads are not displayed on every page, thus impressions are lower than those reported from adsense.

As Cagsil says, both use both impressions and clicks for payment, but which one is based on the ad. An impression may or may not result in any income.

Impressions typically pay well under one cent, which means it will take many impressions to see any income at all even if you are actually earning from each one. Clicks pay (typically) more than a penny which means that nearly every click will result in income (public service ad clicks pay nothing, though).

My understanding, which could be wrong, is that HPads and adsense are in a "bidding war" for our hubs. Whichever one offers the best price for a particular view gets the hub for that moment.

All ad spaces will be filled, but sometimes with all adsense ads.

The result, at least for me, has been beneficial. Adsense is way down (measured by ECPM) but that is because there aren't as many adsense ads on a typical hub and what there are don't pay what they used to per click. HPads has more than made up for the difference.

If I turn HPads off my number of clicks to adsense immediately goes up, but they pay almost nothing per click - the total income goes down. If google paid what they used to pre-panda I'm not sure HPads would be beneficial but until that happens I find HPads to be a lifesaver.

There is currently an issue with AdSense that is interfering with changes, additions, or applications.We are aware of the issue and are in communication with Google AdSense and hope they will have a solution...
